It started innocently enough … but don’t all DIY projects
start out with the best of intentions until you hit the DIY speedbump. Years ago the kitchen cabinets were refaced with new hinges
and hardware and all was well. All was well for about 12 years until the first
evil click sound occurred when the cabinet was opened. The “click sound” was in
conjunction with an itty bitty little black dowel from the interior of the
hinge which would break and fly to the floor. The cabinet would then not open
as easily or as wide as designed. So occasionally
part of the hinge would need to be replaced. No problem.
The DIY Speedbump
The speedbump occurred when the company discontinued the
style of the original hinge and replaced the beloved model with a new model. Aesthetically the hinges look the same and function the same,
but through the years the “little black thingy” that broke off from the hinges
became a known issue on the internet.
A known issue because the search was on for the original
model. First, the hinges were still available from brick and mortar hardware specialty
stores, but as those supplies diminished the internet became the place to find
the hinges.
ROK Hardware To The Rescue
I found ROK Hardware while searching for a supply of the
hinges to replace the remaining cabinet hinges in bulk. Clearly the lifespan of
the remaining hinges with the “little black thingy” was at an end and I need a
supply of hinges to complete the cabinet DIY. As you can see I ran into a
little speedbump with the hinges and needed a few hinge plates (which is why
the pantry door is NOT on the cabinet.)
